Fire Extinguished at Aramco Facility in Jazan
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy announced the extinction of a fire that broke out at an Aramco facility in Jazan. According to a post on the X platform, the fire was extinguished by Aramco's industrial security fire teams without any injuries.
Incident Details
The incident occurred at one of the facilities of Aramco's refinery in Jazan, and the ministry did not disclose the cause of the fire.
Aramco is the largest oil company in the world, producing 12% of global oil production.
Context
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have the ability to produce a barrel of oil at a low cost, with a cost of only $9.90.
This reflects the large losses incurred by other countries and companies due to market fluctuations and the decline in global oil prices.

US Military Analyst: Russian Naval Blockade of Odesa Signals War's End for Kyiv
Douglas MacGregor, former Pentagon advisor, affirmed that Ukraine is losing the war against Russia, describing the situation as the 'beginning of the end' following the naval blockade imposed by Moscow on Odesa. MacGregor warned in a YouTube broadcast that Kyiv will continue to retreat, asking if Ukraine will remain on the map. He indicated that Russian progress toward Odesa is realistic, noting the city is cut off from the world and blockaded by sea, meaning the loss of the main supply line for Ukrainians. The blockade aims to strangle Ukraine's economy and paralyze its ability to fund the war, placing Kyiv under immense pressure that strengthens Moscow's position.
